Infra-red simply means less than red (referring to its place in the spectrum) and it is a wavelength that we cannot see. Similarly, ultra-violet means greater than violet and it is at the other end of the light spectrum, again of a wavelength that we cannot see. There are a lot of wavelengths of electro-magnetic radiation (as these are called) that we cannot see, radio waves being some of them.

What is difference between visible and infrared light?
Visible light is visible (for the human eye), infrared is not. Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a higher frequency. visible light is visible to human i.e the VIBGYOR, above vibgyor are ultravoilet light which is not visible to human eye and below vibgyor are infrared light which is also not visible to human eye.
Difference between infrared waves and red light waves?
Infrared waves have longer wavelengths compared to red light waves. The wavelengths of infrared waves are too long for the naked eye to see, while red light waves can be seen as part of visible light.
What is the difference between UV lamps and IR lamps?
One emits light in the ultra-violet range, and the other emits light in the infrared range.
What is the difference between infrared and infrasonic?
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic wave (invisible light), while infrasonic is a type of sound which have frequencies less than the audible range (20 Hz -20kHz).
What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?
The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
What is the difference between infrared light and visible light ultraviolet light?
The difference is their wavelengths.
What is the basic difference between ultravilolet visible light and infrared radiation?
Their wavelength.
What is the difference between light radio and infrared telescopes?
your mu said its different so it is
What is the difference between unltraviolet light and infrared light?
wavelength and frequency. ultravoilet light has a short wave length and therefore a high frequency, while infrared light has a longer wave length and lower frequency
What is the difference between remote controls that use infrared light and those that use radio waves is?
One uses infrared light and the other uses radio waves. Hope this helps!

What is the difference between ultraviolet and infrared lights?
Wavelength, frequency, and energy carried by each photon (light quantum).
What is the difference between UV lamps and IR lamps?
One emits light in the ultra-violet range, and the other emits light in the infrared range.
What is the difference between infrared and infrasonic?
Infrared is a type of electromagnetic wave (invisible light), while infrasonic is a type of sound which have frequencies less than the audible range (20 Hz -20kHz).
What is the difference between infrared ray and gamma rays?
The main difference between gamma rays and infrared rays is in their wavelengths. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths while infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Gamma and infrared rays are types of electromagnetic radiation.
Is ther a difference between imaging and infrared imaging?
Not much. Some put the span of the IR spectra at a lightly different place than the thermal span, but the difference is marginal.
